Once a fortnight I have to go into town to go to the job centre. Usually I stay in town for the rest of the day and find a place to sit and write. I don't want to have to pay to do this so I go to Cardiff Central Library. Let me tell you something...
Cardiff Central Library specialise in the most uncomfortable chairs known to humankind! These chairs are hard, inflexible, they bow inwards, and there aren't enough of them by sockets. Some of the chairs have little tables attached to them. I've tried using them and the table never quite seems to be in the right position - also these mini-tables seem only just big enough for my tiny laptop!
I have only a vague memory of the previous library. This was at a time before I discovered the wonder of books. That library wasn't pretty but it was packed full of books and proper chairs!
When I have the money I'm going to buy a really nice chair from Staples. At least it should be really nice - the one I have my eye on is around £200!

It's a delicate balance, I think.
ReplyDeleteIf the chair's too comfortable, I find I can't write. My personal best for productivity was the standard office chair in the attic with the ancient PC. I spent many a cold, furious hour up there.
My best would probably be at the Atrium (University of Glamorgan Cardiff) Where I spent around six hours working on background information for one of my novels. The Atrium just has nice ordinary office chairs!
